The Claim

Background: These are both cash prizes offered to the first amateur rocket that attains a height of 200KM(the prizes differ in some details).

Judge's Statement

The only exception will be if the Bowery Prize for Amateur Rocketry is awarded to a launch for which I am given some credit or in which I had a hand -- in which case the BPFAR will become irrelevant to this claim. The award of the BPFAR must meet a 'reasonable man' test. That is, if the contestants are reasonable men and can actually convince themselves they've met the 200km criterion, then they can, in all probability, convince me by similar means.
